Kali linux -- unmet dependencies / broken system

I recently really screwed up my Kali VM. There was a package I installed by accident ("fontconfig"). I didn't know what it was or why it took so long to install. I tried to purge it and realized that when the purge started many many packages were being removed. I quickly canceled the purge, and did a snapshot. I tried to reboot to make sure my system was still stable, but now only boots to a black screen with a blinking cursor.

I rolled the snapshot back and am able to get back to my state right after I did the purge. I knew some configuration or vital package was removed from the mistake I made.

Looking at the term.log I see the last entries. When checking these packages were removed for sure.

I tried fixing the problem by trying to reinstall / fix broken packages in apt. But I keep running into unmet dependencies.

I also tried the whole clear out /var/lib/dpkg/status, but this does nothing to fix the problem.

Commands I have tried:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -f
sudo apt --fix-borken install
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt auto-remove
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt --fix-broken install
apt update && apt install -f
sudo apt update && apt install -f

Running most of the commands above ends up with me trying to run fix-broken, which ends up with the output you see at the end of this post.

It seems like much was removed. Is the only way to fix this by manually installing all of this? How do I go about trying to install all this? When I try to sudo apt install the first package (libpangoft2-1.0-0) I get unmet dependencies as well.

What can I do at this point?
